Monsoon update 2011 for Pakistan
Rain, rain and rain in Upper Pakistan!
Third spell in Pakistan?
Low might form in Bay!
At least 4 monsoon weather system formed;
- A depression ARB 01 formed during early June, that caused no rainfall in Pakistani territory.
- A deep depression BOB 02 formed in the Bay of Bengal during mid-June that brought monsoon currents to Punjab. It created the first monsoon spell of 2011.
- A low pressure formed over Madya Pradesh that caused an isolated thunderstorms to form over North-eastern Punjab.
- A low pressure formed over Bay of Bengal, that brought second spell of monsoon to Punjab.
Second spell of monsoon in Punjab
Scattered light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy rainfall likely in Islamabad and Punjab including Lahore, Faisalabad. While scattered light rainfall with isolated moderate rainfall in eastern Khyber including Peshawar. South Punjab, that is Multan city will also get rainfall. Western trough has also enhanced this activity over these areas. This spell will continue till 2 to 3 days, after that a break will follow and once again another third spell will occur in these same areas.
In Karachi, partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies likely till 2 to 3 days, drizzle may also occur during this period. Winds will be between 32 kph to 40 kph in Karachi. According to some models and numerical forecast, isolated monsoon rainfall may occur in Upper Sindh including Sukkur during 2 to 3 days, according to these models, monsoon may advance into upper parts of Sindh, after some break of monsoon it is expected that monsoon will eye Karachi and coastal Sindh, but that is just being expected as of now. However, it is yet to advance into south-eastern and coastal Sindh. Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) has forecasted in May that monsoon will hit Karachi around July 15 , decrease or increase in days can not be ruled out!
Whats next! – probably third spell?
People of Indian-subcontinent, that follow weather, have eye over Bay of Bengal once again. Another low pressure might form in the Bay of Bengal that would enhance the monsoon activity over Indian-sub continent. The low might form in 4 to 5 days, it might bring third monsoon spell to Upper parts of Pakistan. So keep your umberalla ready Punjab and Khyber!

Chances of thunderstorm/rain with fast winds likely till July 11 morning in Punjab including Islamabad and pindi….rain could occur tonight as well…

^ its not the rite time , see monsoon start in upper sindh early then coastal areas and this is wat happening , normal monsoon is going on … KM u agree dont you? … we shall see good rain by 3rf week of july …
INSHALLAH… but we can pray for early rain… and yup its raining CATS AND DOGS :P:P:P….. i saw on aaaj news …. sakkar main mohsladaar barish
aaahhhh karachi ka itna acha mousam ho raha hai…..no sun just clouds 🙂 where did these clouds come from anyways????
This year karachi is not going to see any good rainfall Even there is no guarantee that next year karachi will get rains. Punjab,nwfp and kashmir are getting downpours almost daily
Why daily downpours in lahore and whole punjab like Dhaka and Calcutta?
We can only get to see these non-rain clouds thats it !
No cumulonimbus clouds this year !
wait until 15 july ppl! Coastal areas may monsoon der se ataa hai
bbc shows thundry shower tonight and light shower tomorrow morning….Is it correct…????
BBC map does not show any rain in karachi, BBC forecasts are not trustworthy but their maps are.. But south-eastern and upper sindh is experiencing cloudy activity during nights for couple of days, so rain chances are very slim but can not be ruledout completly.
@KM
Plz let us know that as the satellite image of PMD showing that the clouds are covering sindh, do you think it might be some moderate showers in karachi tonight or tomorrow ? its seems like i think …..
Karachi metro . Whats update for Larkana city
http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/151
right or wrong?
Mirpurkhas m halki boonda baadi hui hai…karachi metro mirpurkhas city m heavy rain kab hogi????
bbc jhoot bol raha hai….pata chal raha hai k aaj barish nahi hogi…….
light rain will occur tomorrow inshallah…!
@Jackie
Yes I agree with you…
@Shoaib
You are asking the same thing over and over again..I have told you though…
@Qwais
Thunder showers can not occur in Karachi tonight…drizzle may occur
@Shahjee
those are weak clouds…that have already lost their mositure…
@Danish
drizzle/light rainfall “could” occur till 48 hours…
@Zulfi
I think its clear..that BBC forecasts are wrong..their map is good…but there forecast is not accurate..
@Wasi
when there is a strong weather system over Gujarat-Sindh border..
@Sam
drizzle could occur…
in 2010 bbc forecast was 90% accurate,this year until now bbc forecasting is 90% wrong.
monsoon system kahan tak puhuncha hai?
Karachi metro . . Now in larkana wind is calm bilkul wind nai hah and clouds bi hei is any changing in weather today night what the reason behnd that
One thing is sure that because of western disturbance karachi weather is hot and dry whole year. Western disturbance during whole winter gives rains to whole pakistan except karachi and sindh and during monsoon its interaction with easterly also give daily flooding downpours to punjab,nwfp and kashmir specailly lahore to islamabad. Karachi does not get any good rainfall in winter and thats why it will never get daily heavy downpours during monsoon like punjab,nwfp and kashmir? Even there is no name of rains over karachi this monsoon. During winter to monsoon and whole year karachi has only sunshine and hot weather and responsible is western disturbance.
i wonder why you guys conclude things before they even start ? ;/ … tell me is their any expert here who can really understand the met data ?
@shoaib
Western disturbance only effects western provinces n sindh is an eastern provinces……i don’t know tht’s what i think n y r u saying tht karachi won’t get any good rainfall? Monsoon will start in khi after 15 july so wait until thn n we still have august n september…. Wait for a while ppl
^ about time a sensible post (Y) …
^ thank u 🙂
I think a low pressure is developing in BOB.
Dear Tarim,

@KM

“I think a low pressure is developing in BOB”
Yaar Allah Say Dua kero Karachi maen Bhe barish ho jaye gee….

No BBC and no other forecast is correct only Allah knows the best when will it rain in Karachi. InsAllah Soon.
Fahad
Yeeeeeees! a Very Strong LOw is Forming Dude……….60 % possibly track towards karachi…
Dear Zohair,
It will be better if you give us any link or when it is coming here ?? i think it is not identified by any met dept so how you say it is coming ??
Severe weather Warning For Gujrat……….
BBC map is showing that monsoon currents increasing their intensity over western indian coast and in BOB from thursday.
send the link of BBC Map plz
Dear Shahjee
It is My Observation Dear
Yaar Tell me one thing !! Ke SINDH province Bay Of Bengal ke Raining System pe kyun apni predictions depend karta hah ? I still did not understand that ? and what will happen if strng Low pressure formed in Bob ! SINDH ke near to nai na Bob itni door hah yahan se to yahan koi farak nai parega LOw presure se ! NO RAIN IN KARACHI NO RAIN IN SINDH! If we depends on Bob !
Same question here, Karachi should get rains directly from Arabian sea like Mumbai and from western disturbance and like Lahore. BOB is too far and it usually die out while or before reaching karachi.
@EVERY BODY
PWP give a news about a fresh low in BOB on July 7, and hopefully it will form either on July 12 or July 13….
Karachi Metro Please help me out that ! why we depends on BOB ? For rains in sindh
http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/dynamic/Monsoon_frame.htm
ye map daikho shayad kuch tmhain samjh ajaeeeeee…..
Yeh Lines hein khali ismei yeh thori pata chal raha ke Rain System kahan se aiga sindh mei
@KM
Can you please explain why there is a unusual clouds line curve over Pakistan ?
http://m.accuweather.com/en/pk/national/satellite?play=1
@shahjee
The source is my observation, i just saw pakmet’s satellite image and i think that a low is forming in BOB.
Danish these are not clouds this is sattelite error 🙂
@DeMoN I was expecting this sort of reply.
@KM do you also thinks that this is due to satellite malfunctioning?
@KM
will this low bring rains to karachi ???
No
@Danish
problem with the website of accu…some uploading problems…
@Aqib
its immature to go in such a depth right now..considering that it has not even formed yet…
@Danish Raza
There is no other source of rain in Sindh…that is why we depend upon BOB…for cyclones we depend on ARB…
la nina will be active next year
@km..
pakmet said that this weather system will make its way towards upper parts of pakistan under its influence punjab, GB, KPK and few areas of upper sindh get rains.
@km
will la nina be active nxt year
I don’t think ke is year karachi me monsoon rains hongi,because ye new weather system which is forming in BOB, ye bhi upper parts mein jaega….previous yeal 5th july se monsoon rains start hogai thin, and this year no monsoon rain in karachi, love islamabad,hate karachi!
KM WILL La-Nina WILL REAPPEAR THIS YEAR OR NOT
Sad, you haven’t updated monsoon of Pakistan page today.
no activity in blog yaar … KM bhai update to karo
A strong emerging weather system in the bay of bengal expected to bring heavy rains for northern states of India, strong monsoon currents will likely to penetrate in upper part of pakistan, but very unfortunately a typhoon will develop in pacific ocean which will cause to cut the moisture of that weather system which will present over central india at that time, due to this typhone we will again miss the rains 😦 😦
source?
@Aqib and Ahsan Minhas
Only few US models are showing that La-Nina will re-emerge again later this year….but many (almost all) disagree..
KM . siri want to ask that fresh new bob low presure can cause any heavy rains in larkana and sukkur divisions
As per latest forecast…Low is not affecting Sindh…..as for Upper Sindh…some isolated showers likely after July 15…
@jakie…
Most of the weather models are showing typhone in pacific and strong low in BOB, but the formation of typhone follow by low in BOB. It observed that Whenever typhone forms in pacific the moisture from BOB moves towards it and there is a break in subcontinent.
http://weathergaines.blogspot.com/p/ecmwf-model-forecasttc-forecast.html
you can see map given in the above link, but its my observation that there will be no rain from the low in BOB(if typhone forms in paicfic)..
@KM correct me if i am wrong
well….it depends upon the direction of typhoon…and prevailing wind conditions and other meteorological factors…..what you are saying is also right…while some typhoon in W pacific increase monsoon activity (that depends upon direction)…while some enter BOB and become once again cyclone…eg Cyclone Bhola, Cyclone Jal, and many more…
Karachi Metro !!! Tell me that New Fresh Low Pressure which formed in BOB so it can Reach to SINDH and make heavy rain falls in Upper Sindh? SUKKUR AND LARKANA DIVISION
some isolated showers in Up sindh after July 15….
according to BBC map light or heavy showers expected on lower and upper sindh on sunday…
@KM
yar mjhe lagta hai low pressure kuch karega KHI mai q k Arabian sea ka temperature jo k june mai 26-28 tha 29 tak tu pohanch gaya hai………….
As of now the low has not formed so….too early to go in such a depth…
Matlab 2 Days mei Monsoons system BOB wala Upper sindh mei ya sindh province mei kahin pe bi enter hosakhta hah ?
halqi barish ho rahi hai
Yaar the scenario is very saddening uptill now for karachi 😦 sadly not a single drop of rain in karachi and i think not any significant rain in near future i hope i am wrong 100%… but we need rain badly here as this pathetic weather has made life real bore …. infact we are not even seeing the usual cloud cover which karachi has during monsoon in place of that sunlight and mugginess for the past 1 week … guys pray for rain
There was no rain forecast for the whole Country during previous 24hrs..But how the Hell (Low Rain occoured in Karachi????
it was not a drizzle it was and it is a low rain ….
Babar Bhai any Supporting argument? 🙂
thats the beauty of monsoon 😛 … it’ll simply spawn a rain band out of no where and then downpours 😛
well…its not surprising..during monsoon season (June till late August in Karachi)…..the level of moisture incursion increases…that is why drizzle to moderate drizzle could occur due to formation of a weak nimbostratus clouds…if a drizzle happens tonight..it will not be surprising…this is called isolated development which are too small to be detected by any model…
@EVERY BODY
5 drizzles have occurred since June 1 in Karachi….all of them are traces…
1.1 june
2.14 june
3. 22 june
4. 3 july
5. 13 july

babar bhai the 2nd week is almost starting and still no chances of monsoon rains in karachi???????????
clouds came from the arabian sea and it gave rain 10 mins ago enough to make the roads wet and the weather pleasant 😀
raat ko humari taraf bohot taiz barish hoi, balkay city k mukhtalif parts me taiz barish hoi..
i guess this means tht monsoon has finally started in khi….btw did anyone hear tht thunder or was it just my imagination
Monsoon will only start if some “mm” rainfall occurs in Karachi………….as of now only traces are being reported…..not one precipitation has touched “1 mm”……..
no i heard it too , thought firing is going on , but no it was thunder …
monsoon kahan tak puhuncha hai?aisa lagta hai k monsoon khi main gadhai per beth ker araha hai..
acha then what is happening right now? Moisture from the arabian sea?
In karachi we ocassionaly see rains but downpour of bullets happens more oftenly :p
Now i want to see rains(of water drops).
when will karachi get monsoon??? any Chances??? The direction of clouds is not Changing,,which changes due to monsoon…………… ut still cloudy Weather…. i am waiting 4 rain for about tgree weeks…… i want to see some real thunder rain with winds………….
in my area very heavy firing and fire recorded…)
jis city mein bullets ki rain horahi ho wahan allah ki rehmat kia barsey gi? forget rains in this stupid karachi,,, the most dangerous city in the world….
I totally agree with you brother …
We will only see drizzle this year.
there are thunderstorms in khi(gunfires) with heavy bloodfall.
so there is no need of rainfall here in khi.
